Mattel admits “Press Secretary Barbie” not a success
Toy maker Mattel admitted today that Press Secretary Barbie, the latest iteration in its long running series of plastic blonde dolls, hasn’t been entirely successful.
“The main problem was making it talk,” explained a company spokesman who wished to remain anonymous. “We’ve found that even when we restrict it to empty MAGA platitudes, it can only go 14 minutes before it starts repeating itself and has to be carried offstage.
“After that press conference, we were expecting an angry phone call from the White House. But they’re basically pretty happy with it. If they have a problem, it’s that Trump is so obviously leering at it the whole time, even his base is starting to feel queasy.
“I don’t understand how he can be attracted to something so obviously plastic and fake… sorry, I really don’t know why I said that. Maybe as he wakes up from his afternoon nap, for a few moments he thinks it’s Ivanka.”
